Two men and two women from Newark and Kearny were arrested Wednesday as the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said it is going beyond its boundaries to break up a Newark-based drug distribution ring in Ocean County.

The arrests were the result of a traffic stop on Route 9 in the area of Sylvan Lakes Boulevard in Berkeley, where authorities armed with a search warrant found enough evidence to serve a second warrant at an Emmet Street home in Newark, said Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato.
